From Zibriz, the path was generally through woods and hills. Beautiful scenery. We are getting along well with walking but took a short day today while walking through Pamplona. The old city is really quite nice, with its high walls and narrow streets.
We have seen wild flowers in profusion the entire trip. Spring is a good time to be here.
The houses and buildings in this part of Spain are mostly stone with stucco and they all have red tile roofs. When you see a village from a distance, they are too pretty to describe.

The grocery stores vary in size from tiny to small. The small village we are in now has 3 very small groceries and a fruit market.

This part of Spain is unbelievably lovely. The villages we pass through are neat, clean and a well cared for blend of the very old and new. The farms look well tended and prosperous. The Spanish people are very friendly and helpful. We have met lots of people from all parts of Europe and even a few Americans. It is suprising how many people are doing this walk. The refuges are clean and comfortable and not too noisy. A bed and hot shower are all I need. The paths are rocky and steep and walking in Texas did not prepare us for this. At times it is gruelling but the vistas are sometimes worth it. Three days out and I am still hanging in there.
